Once in a while someone will mistake a Bobcat for a Mountain Lion, which is pretty ridiculous. Bobcats are about twice the size of a domestic cat and have a bobbed tail. Mountain Lions are three to five feet long and have a long tail. They weigh well in excess of a hundred pounds. Emily's Bobcat visitor doesn't weigh more than 30 pounds. I thank her for allowing me to share her photo here.

Emily lives just up the hill from us and when we are missing some of our slow moving old cats, we're pretty sure this Bob got 'em. But what a beautiful cat! Sita
Yes, a Bobcat will take a cat. They hunt pretty much anything that moves. A friend told me he saw one stalking a Wild Turkey. Not sure if Bob got it or not. Sorry about your old cats though, Sita.
